Nh1CAGSy ILL NV Ids me an
erchist funeral procession entered the
cemetery : bell YVES heard tolling, but in .
quick, agitated manner that reminded
many Of the name of Parsons fierce
mouthpiece, the Anarchist Alarm. The
coftins were laid upon rude little plat
form in front of what seemed stone hut
A moment later q person who had fol
lowed the: Collins here could not stir q
foot in any direction, so thick had the
crowd become. The relatives OF the dead
meu were gathered behind Captain Black
on the plsliOrm, but in the gathering
darkness the only features tlat could be
distinguished were those Of Miss Van.
Rardt. Withoutssny preliminaries what
ever Captain Black began the first
of the fuaerel Grafton. 1t wss
couched in eloquent language, but
had no more effect on the listeners
than had the inscriptions on the grave
stones He said: Whst is truth through
eighteen centuries and more? The
answer Of that loyal, that glorious one of
Nazereth TO that question WAS in thsse
Wordf: 81 am truth" and no man knows
truth until it mas become the inspiration
Of his life and he is cold in death. These
men have kept loyal TO the convictions
that entered into life. am not here this
afternoon to give you any special words
concerning the cause for which these
men lived, nor about the manner Of their
taking Of, bat speak like a friend to tell
you the cause which commanded their
service was sealed at Isst by their lives
with Unstiuted measure for the sake
OF those they loved. You know how they
passed out of this life into the pert c.
and glorious life thst is beyond the reach
of misjudgment. We are mere beside the
bodies of those who were sublime 10 heir
self-sacrifice and for whom the gi9bst be
csme glorious cross. They have been
presented to the world as men loving
bIoodshed for lis own sake. Nothing
could be further from the truth; they
were men who loved pesCe. They were
loved by the men who knew them. They
believed there was that Of wroDg aud
hardship in the existing order Which
pointed to q conflict.
CaptGin Black ended his address by
reading poem reciting the virtues of the
deceased. The verses were written by
some one unknown By him.
Captain Bisck WAS followed By R0oeIt
Raitsel Of New York, who spoke in Ger
man, and :had only SAID one sentence
when he had reused the crowd from their
lethArgy snd stirred the spirit tnst shone
out luridly ct the meeting in the Hay
market. He SAID: Friends, l came
here to make charge, not against the
people, nor against the hangman whom
they call sheriff, Eor against the Jury,

lowed five CT their best men to be mur-
dered in their midst. l can't say more
than that they died for justice I"
I. J. Morgan, LEGAL socialist leader,
made violent har&ngue which excited
comments from the crowd. He said there
could be nothing bat c1rtem7s which
held the anarchists. He spoke IN most
bitter terms OF Mr.. Bonfeld, States A.
torney Grinnell, Judge Gary, and re-
ferred sneeringiy to "5he spread eagleism
of the American Fourth OF July" obscu-
ring the mind of the people
Part Of the people did not relish
his remarks, aud when he asked
how the wrongs OF the IabCrers
could be righted many should ''hy the
ballot" The majority Ct the people lis
tened in silence gazing st the cof1as.
The lsst speech wss By Albert G hurp-
ten II German. He scarcely got started
before Captain Black stepped to the front
and laid his hand on the speakers arm.
1t WIS now pitch dark in the graveyard
and the people were being wrought up
to high tension by the speeches. Cap
tain Black gave the word that tie Cere-
monies be now considered closed. There
WAS movement showing the cofflns Of
the five men we're being carried 10 the
vault. At orce there was general STAN
pede for the train. The greatest object

OGLEsBY DID TIE BEST He COULD.
New YORK, Nov. 14.-Master Worknaa
james E. Quinn IF District Assembly 80,
Knights OF Labor, yesterday at meeting
Of the assembly said that he had pre-
scented the p&tition OF the District Assem-
bly, to Governor OElesbY, who had re-
ceived him kindly. 1t was no use trying
TO persuade him to do anything, Master
Workman Quinn said, because Governor
Oglesby said that for every petition for
mercy received from friends OF the con-
demned men he could produce hundreds
from business uen and reputable, law
aoiding citizens ell oyer the country, re-
questing him TO remain steaGfags in sup
porting the decision Of the courts. Tlere
was no unanimity il the demand for
mercy. Some wanted the prisoners set
free; others again, he said, talked for
new trial for the condemned men. The
business men were unanimous that tins
men should be hanged. Il was the bast
that the Governor could do to commute
the sentences OF F.elden and SchYab to
life Imprisonment.
